for this specific reason. The horizontal laser beam cuts between the middle HVAC vents and dash, the vertical one cuts through the clock at 6 o'clock. Works perfectly every time.
No paint, just the lower half of the grill, minor, but super glue will not cut it. Need either clear epoxy and perform a grill off repair or replacement.
If any CL parts experts can help me find a replacement grill part number, I’d be appreciative.

Sorry to see this! I"ll see what I can find. I bought mine from Bell Lexus but mine didn't have parking sensors so it's a different PN. The swap is fairly easy. Its only 20 minutes to pull the bumper then another 30 to release all of the small clips holding the grill in. Parking sensors need to swap so not sure how long that takes but then the bumper goes back on and it should be less than 2 hours and you are done.
Following up to the above, I think it's 53101-30890. I bought 53101-30880 and that was the version without parking sensors so the -30890 should be it. Call Bell Lexus and provide your VIN to confirm.
There is apparently also a lower portion available but I don't recall it separating when I installed mine.
It might be worth exploring but also may not work or need additional trim parts whereas the above is the entire assembly.
An example of the lower portion is below:
South Florida road debris on I95… could not avoid. Hoping some super glue will be enough.
Could have been worst. I have 2 friends with GS's, I think they have replaced about 4 front splitter to objects in the road. They both told me that those splitters which were ebay ones saved the front Grill by taking the impact and pushing the object away.
Had my front windshield tinted 50%, currently have 30% on all the other windows, hopefully this will cut down on some of the FL sun.
It should definitely make a difference. I have Stratos 70 in the front (and Air blue 80 in other cars), and it's nice not burning your face when driving into the son. Even with a black car, the heat is not unbearable when you get in midday.

How's 50 at night?
Its not bad at night just a slight difference but I have only driving once since it was done on Friday so time will tell. My son has 15% on his entire car and I cant see **** at night if I drive his car, not sure how he does it but then he's 21

Are you concerned that your car wouldn't pass Florida state inspection with any added tint to the entire front windshield? And could be a deciding factor in determining the legal outcome of an accident...
I wish they made windshields like transition or photochromic sunglasses that change from clear to dark when exposed to sunlight. The degree of transition should be electronically controllable by software.

We don't have inspections in FL (thankfully or unfortunately, depending on some cars you see driving around here). Your second point is one I do wonder about, though, especially as you get lower in the VLT percentages.
A stock Lexus/Toyota wheel with tire should never need anywhere close to that much weight to balance, assuming the tire is top quality. Something is bad wrong somewhere...
One of my front wheels got almost the same amount of weight too. Last month, my wife ran over neighbor's yard out from the alley hit a whole bunch of landscaping rocks and my car drive like *****, it is making wubbing noise at any speed...
Btw, I changed a new set of F Sport rim, it is better, minimal amount of balance weight, sadly the noise still there.
Since the accident, I changed the 2 front wheel hub bearing, Toyota wheel alignment, all the suspension part inspected, of course the new set of rim but the noise still the same.
Driving is smooth, no vibration or pulling or anything but the noise. Smh.
